Summary
Kang Dae-ho is only a human being. There is only so much someone like him can do. In his last moments, remembering those times of toxic masculinity he dealt with between family and society, he opens his eyes after taking his final breath to realize he is back. Everyone is back, and this might just be his second chance. He can prove his worth and avoid his earlier mistakes. What could go wrong?
A/N: I wrote this mostly for myself since I don't get reads on AO3, but I thought it'd be nice to share. Whenever he mentions Mr. Seong, Mr. Oh, or Ms. Cho, he is referring to Gi-hun, Inho, and Hyun-ju. Thank you!

Summary
Jun-hee never asked for help. Not from Myung-gi, who’s too busy chasing crypto gains to remember he has a daughter, and certainly not from Dae-ho—the steady, unassuming presence who's always just… there. Picking up groceries. Taking her daughter to the park. Fixing the leaky faucet she swore she’d get to.
He doesn’t ask for anything in return.
But slowly, in the quiet spaces Myung-gi left behind, something blooms. Gentle, persistent, and impossibly kind—Dae-ho's love isn't loud. It's rooted. And Jun-hee is finally beginning to see what it means to be cared for.
Where Flowers Bloom is a story of steady devotion, quiet transformation, and the love that grows when someone chooses to stay—even when they don’t have to.
A/N:
This is a Dae-ho/Jun-hee story, but will be plenty of In-ho/Gi-hun cause they're my mains, maybe a side of Gyeong-seok/Hyun-ju. Also #MGCoinHatersClub*NOT a S3 canon version of Dae-ho*

Summary
The ancient philosophy of Yin-Yang treats opposing forces as not paradoxical, but complementary entities which push and pull each other to maintain the balance in the universe; light is not merely the absence of darkness, old not the opposite of young, the masculine not the counter to the feminine. Even though yin and yang seem to be antithetical, one has no meaning without the other.
My season 3 fix-it fic follows Gi-hun, In-ho, Jun-hee, Dae-ho, among others, as they grapple with the aftermath of the rebellion while confronting their own demons. Please note that this fic follows multiple characters from the show, but the primary focus is on Gi-hun and In-ho, and their dynamic.The title is inspired from the phrase “journeys end in lovers meeting” coined by William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night. It has been used multiple times in The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, and this novel is where I have borrowed it from.

With one goal in mind – end the Hunger Games once and forever – he fights for his survival again, and for the survival of as many other people as he can. With his childhood friend from Twelve, a mysterious boy from Eleven, a small group of friends and a career pack roaming the gloomy pink-and-green dungeon, Gi-hun still has power left to fight. -
